The New Enduro KTM 1190

Intermot ahead: the new KTM 1190 R

The day could not start better. The sun is shining, the winding roads full of promise. A round of KTM developers hands me the key proud of their latest creation: A pre-production model of the all-new 1190 enduro adventure ready. Heart, what more do you want?

Enthusiastically tell the engineers what they have installed on the machine: four driving modes for the engine, electronically adjustable suspension, integral ABS, traction control, a height-adjustable seat and windshield, an integrated baggage system ... It is missing the future KTM tourers to nothing .

Driven and the Adventure of the elaborately revised V2 engine of the RC8 R. Renner will improve New cylinder heads, camshafts and intake ports the driveability of the once quite raubauzigen engine. In contrast to the rather for the classic KTM customer-designed Adventure R (see MOTORCYCLE 18/2012) which is designed for the larger audience Adventure wears a 19-inch front wheel. The fit to travel and serve a dual height adjustable seat and a large windscreen, which is also adjustable. And the built-in two versions 24-liter fuel tank should ensure a wide reach.

Even when mounting one feels on the adventure at home. The smaller wheels and the lower seat provide a sheltered driving and traffic lights standing feeling. To rank the full tank only about 230 kilograms, the 1200s can be wonderful. And the position I like with my 173 cm very good. Reassuring that the shape of the tank is also much larger space, the seat edge to the back still leaves enough space. Handlebars and fittings are well in hand, the passenger footrests are a perfect fit.

Large eye-opening experience: As with the R version of the engine pushes from the state as an ox. If he only really good from 2000 rpm running smoothly, but he seems in comparison to previous 990s transformed. Gone is the nervous throttle response, the annoying hacking that too strong braking effect when gas Close. This V2 boasts best manners. Gently, he goes to the gas supply at part load without jerking his power to go off at full throttle as kicks ass. Also, the Adventure has a whopping 150 hp, two horses more than the previous record of the Ducati Multistrada 1200. Apropos: The Ducati engine driving the KTM has almost nothing to do. It runs smoother, more powerful, especially in the middle. Sonor thumps the KTM from the thick muffler that is to be executed for the collection of beautiful and adds value.

For the redesigned cockpit all KTM riders will be grateful. Finally the time of often failing digital cockpits is over. The analog speed displayed is recognizable at a glance only the speed is documented somewhat timidly. Links informed a second display about everything. From the outside temperature to the spring and damper settings, the driver can in various menu levels can show everything. When driving himself he should curb his urge to play but. The KTMs happening so that you can quickly in forest stands, if you are not careful.

The new seat is height adjustable and the most comfortable furniture in KTMs history

For security reasons finest electronics from Bosch and LED daytime running lights. Convinced the integral ABS with a specially programmed off-road function both on the road and on gravel roads. Never had one - so the first impression after a short test session on gravel - such a machine have expected such a powerful deceleration. Since Bosch has taken a big hit.

Just as with the traction control. So gentle and safe as it regulates, it has never experienced. The electronically adjustable suspension elements convincing that can be adapted in all functions, but with pre-programmed settings. Since no one has to get bogged down.

st the KTM fit to travel? From the engine, the biggest shortcoming, in any case. Suspension and damping also offer much comfort. The new seat? No comparison with the previous KTMs. And the panel? It is not too narrow, and, similar to the Ducati Multistrada, far towards the driver pulled. Thus, the incoming air will be passed through without strong turbulence on the helmet.

Finally, I give the KTM the spores. Whats up? Quite a lot, thanks to great handling and steering precision. When does it start? From March. Price? Quite competitive. Competition? Wrap up warm.
